Job Description
A bit about this role:
Devoted Medical has built a best-in-class Hypertension Clinic to manage and coordinate care in a manner consistent with Devoted’s values of treating every member like family. Members with chronic conditions, like hypertension, often lack access to high-quality care because of a scarcity of primary or specialist care in their community or personal barriers to traveling to seek care. Elevated blood pressure is the leading contributor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality– in fact, complications from raised blood pressure account for 53% of all heart disease and stroke deaths globally. Despite a mountain of proven effective interventions, the prevalence of hypertension and adverse events related to cardiovascular disease are rising at an alarming rate.
We are on a mission to eradicate preventable death due to hypertension by replicating best-in-class hypertension care through our virtual care platform. Our multidisciplinary team combines remote monitoring, medication management, and high-touch disease education to deliver seamless speciality care in the comfort of our members’ homes.
As a Cardiovascular Clinical Guide, you will make a meaningful impact every day by supporting members throughout their care journey. Drawing on your coaching skills, you’ll review each member’s medical history, medications, and lifestyle habits, and help them build the confidence and tools they need to monitor and improve their cardiovascular health.

- Conduct outreach calls to members as needed
- Identify and close applicable Stars measure gaps during member visits to support quality and performance goals
